* BlackSheep: It's implied that Rupert is this, although of course he could be making everything up. But his RP British accent, his comments about once being an officer, and his comments about growing up around high-class racetracks all hint at him being a former aristocrat.

* MenAreFromMarsWomenAreFromVenus: Seen in the central conflict between Paddy and Ida. Paddy is perfectly content to live the rootless, itinerant, unencumbered life of a drover, herding sheep and living in a wagon and tents. Ida signed off on this years ago but as she tells Paddy, she's changing, and she wants the comforts of domestic life. She talks specifically about having a real kitchen to cook in, and in one scene at a train station she gazes with naked envy at a woman on the train wearing makeup and fancy clothes.

''The Sundowners'' is a 1960 film directed by Fred Zinnemann, starring Creator/DeborahKerr and Creator/RobertMitchum.
Paddy Carmody (Mitchum) is a drover in 1920s UsefulNotes/{{Australia}}. Paddy, his wife Ida (Kerr), and their teenaged son Sean live the lives of itinerant wanderers, moving flocks of sheep around Australia for pay, living out of a tent. Paddy strongly prefers the nomadic life, having a mortal terror of being tied down to one place and burdened by a mortgage. Ida, however, has grown weary of life as a drover, wanting nice clothes and a kitchen of her own instead of cooking over camp fires.
Shot on location in the Australian countryside and famous Outback.

!!Tropes:
* AndTheAdventureContinues: Just when it seems that the Carmodys can buy their farm after all that struggle, a challenge to the result of the horse race results in them losing their prize. They resolve to continue on and eventually save enough for a farm. The film ends.
